I said that about the version of pygtk I am developing for use with GTK
2.0 (which is not yet fully usable). It does not apply to the GTK 1.2
targetted versions (however, thanks for reminding me to check through
the devel version for incorrect uses of PyString_Check though).
As I understand it, the unix version of gtk 1.2 doesn't use unicode but
the windows version does internally.
So you should be able to pass unicode UTF8 encoded strings to it. This
can be done with the encode() method of a unicode string (I think that
is the name). I think they call the encoding 'UTF-8'.
James.
